I thought about that, but I don't think that solves the issue.
I would much rather see that the proposed 'install/fast' becomes the 
default as install now is not doing what I expect.
For example; doing a make install in the subdir kword will trigger a 
recompile in the libs top level dir if something changed there. But it 
will not _install_ those changes there making my installed version not 
work anyway. And, no, installing in that dir is just making it worse.
I really don't like the duplicity cmake introduced where there are 
subprojects with its makefiles but they are not subprojects at all since 
they depend on each other.
Its usefull for some things, but most of the time its just a pain.

So; no, please don't change this feature to be the default, its moving in 
the wrong direction.
